Five Years Later...

" No! " 

" You have to do this? "

" No! " The voices of cute little boys echoed in the mansion as they ran towards the stairs.

" Careful Mizyan! " Amaira said following him.

" Careful Mizaan! " Mahira said following the boys and Amaira.

" Abba. " Mizyan and Mizaan said and ran towards them who walked and taught the kids in their arms.

" Abba shave ush. " The kids pouted and their dear fathers looked at the mothers.

{Abba save us.}

" What happened? " Iyan asked.

" Why are you both after the kids like... what they have done? " Ryan asked.

Amaira and Mahira stood next to each other, in the last 4th step of the stairs with their arms crossed over the chest.

" They have not done the homework yet. " The mothers' complaint at the same time.

" So what? " Iyan asked.

" Dear mothers, the kids are only in LKG {Lower Kinder Garden}. " Ryan tried to defend the kids who ran away from the arms to play cars-cars.

" They need to learn responsibility. " Amaira said in a low deep voice.

Mahira made a face and said,

" They can do homework now and play till night. "

" No problem, he can do whenever he wants. Even after a little break to play. " Iyan said.

" It's laziness. The break is just an excuse to play. " Amaira said.

" Homework is important. He needs to learn. Without education and talent, he is nothing. And no one knows that better than me. " Mahira said and Ryan glares her for talking about her past again.

" Laziness will give him nothing. Mahira is right. I don't care what he will be in the future. It's his choice and dream. But he needs to learn the responsibility through this. " Amaira said and the fathers looked at each other with a sigh.

" Okay, fine, relax. Take my credit card. " Ryan said forwarding his card and Iyan did the same.

" Why? " Amahira asked glaring both of them.

" You both should relax. Go shopping, We'll make them do homework. " Iyan said.

" Are you sure? " Amaira asked looking at the card with a smirk.

" Yes. " Iyan smiled.

" What if you get bankrupt? " Mahira asked.

" I don't have any problem because I know you won't. " Ryan replied with a wide smile and winked at her.

Mahira and Amaira looked at each other smiling and hugged each other.

" Yayyy!! " 

" Was that a plan to get us bankrupt? " Iyan whispered to Ryan.

" I don't think so. But their smiles. " Ryan smiled at the end and Iyan glared at him.

" What about homework now? " Iyan asked after the ladies walked to their room.

" You can write it down, after all, you have bad handwriting. " Ryan said walking towards the sofa.

" What do you mean? They have to write it. " Iyan said.

"So, that means you are okay if I mock you for your handwriting? " Ryan smirked and received a cushion pillow on his face.

" What? " He asked.

" I won't be their teacher every day. It's your job today. " Iyan said and Ryan made a face.

" Seriously today? We have to play Fortnite with our friends, remember? " 

"Let's cancel the plan. " Iyan said and Ryan was ready to knock his face when the ladies came down.

" It's ladies day out! " The duo said together and sat on the couch.

" You are not going now? " Iyan asked.

" Let Haya and Dilna come. We four will enjoy time together after so long. " Amaira replied.

" Yes, especially after Haya's delivery. "

Mahira said.

" See we can play with them rather than our business partners. " Iyan whispered near Ryan's ear and they nodded.

 They all waited for a few minutes when the cars arrived.

" Oo my sweet Mifrah! " Mahira took Haya and Brian's daughter in her arms and kissed her cheek. She was a year old by now and looked at everyone with a cute pout.

{ A/n
This reminds me of how I finally carried a baby in my arms. I had a fear that I might break their cartilaginous bones, but I finally succeed. Though I am already Khala to 3 kids and it's the fourth one whom I carried. :):) }

" Come, let's go now. " Amaira said as the car was ready for them.

" Don't forget to make them do their homework " Amahira warned and walked out leaving only gents in the mansion.

 " Brian and Zack, we need your help. " Ryan said.

" What happened? "

Iyan and Ryan looked at each other and said with a sad face,

" Homework! "

" Look at you two. Help yourself out, we are guests for today. " Brian replied and sat on the sofa.

" Fine. " Ryan said with a face but Iyan was happy and they took the kids for homework.

*****

After about an hour of shopping, the ladies entered a restaurant for lunch.

" What will we have today? " Mahira asked.

" Masala Dosa for me. " Amaira said looking at the menu.

" Noodles. " Haya said.

" Dilna? " 

" Dilna? " Mahira asked when she didn't reply.

" Huh? " Dilna, who was busy playing with Mifrah, looked at Mahira.

" Your order? " Mahira asked.

" Cheese sandwich. " 

" Cheese sandwich? Are you sure? " Haya asked as it was not her daily order.

" Yes. I'm not in the mood to eat just salad here. " Dilna replied with a smile.

The glow on her face replied something else to the mothers. That was not a random or makeup glow, it was the glow of the motherly nature.

Amaira and Mahira signaled with eye and Haya nodded a little.

After eating lunch, Dilna said, as the pastries were served.

" Guys, I need to tell you all something. "

The ladies who already had lots of questions in their minds focused on her.

" What? " They asked in unison.

" I'm pregnant. " Dilna whispered.

" What? " They asked in unison and Mifrah looked at Dilna with wide eyes like everyone else.

" I'm pregnant. " She announced again with a cute smile.

" Woah!! " Haya said clapping her hands and Mifrah copied her mom and giggled.

" Congratulations. " The ladies said.

" What are your plans now? " Haya asked.

" What plans? " Dilna asked with a straight face.

" Stupid, how will you announce it to Zackary? " Mahira asked.

" It's Zack's birthday tomorrow, so I thought to tell him as a gift. "

" If his birthday is tomorrow, is there any chance you planned to buy anything else before? " Haya asked.

" No, it's not like that. Actually, I was thinking of the gift when I felt unusual and I just tested. "

" Then will you just simply tell him about pregnancy or do something? " Amira asked.

" Say simply...? " Dilna replied confused.

" This idiot. How are we still friends, ha? " Haya asked watching Dilna's stupidity.

" She is so naive. " Mahira whispered.

" Its nothing like that. I thought of buying a T-shirt for him saying 'Soon to be Daddy' or a baby T-shirt saying 'Coming soon' or something but I didn't get me in the mall. " Dilan frowned and looked at the trio who were watching at her with wide eyes.

" Then you should have told me, idiot. " Haya said picking up Mifrah.

" I know a shop where they print anything you want. For that, we have to buy a plain solid T-shirt. " Haya said and the ladies stood up.

" I have already bought it. " Dilna said showing the plain white T-shirt of Zack's size. "

" You have it already... " Amaira said and Dilna nodded.

" I thought I can at least sew it... Or do something like they show on youtube... "

" Amazing girl. " Mhaira whispered as she helped Dilna walk with her.

" Appi, I am 6 weeks pregnant or like I'm going to have delivery now. " Dilna said as she removed Mahira's hand from her shoulder and hand.

" This girl is full of tantrums now. " Amaira whispered to Haya and Haya giggled.

Meanwhile, Amaira sent the message to Iyan.

" I wish I have a daughter like Mifrah. " Dilna said walking aside Haya and looking at the cute Mifrah.

" In'sha Allah! " They said and Dilna smiled.

Meanwhile, guys were playing Fortnite while kids were busy in making house through blocks.

" Iyan Bhai, I was thinking about Mifrah's future and thought why not to marry him to Mizyan. " Brian said focusing on the TV screen.

" Okay but why? " Iyan asked.

" What, why? Because I think she will be safe with you all. At least I don't have to threaten someone. "

They laughed out loud.

" Brian! " Ryan said laughing as he slapped his shoulder when Iyan's message popped.

" Ryan see the message. " Iyan said and the doorbell rang at the same time.

" Zack, please open the door. Its pizza guy. " Ryan said and asked Brian to see the message.

" Now it's going to be a race. " Ryan announced.

" Why? " Iyan asked.

" What if Mifrah liked my son and the other baby marry your son? " Ryan stated the possibility.

" How can you say he'll have a daughter? " Iyan asked.

" Just a possibility. Though I have a gut feeling of the same. " Ryan replied.

" Maybe. Let's leave that to them in the future. " Brian said.

" Mahira's mind is after Nureen's daughter. " Ryan said.

" We cannot think of the future too much. Let's leave that for them and their destiny. " Brian said.

" What was the message? " Zack asked placing the pizza boxes on the table.

" Dilna has a surprise planned for you. " Ryan answered and Iyan and Brian glared at him.

" What surprise? What can it be? " Zack paused for thinking as they ended the game.

" Look at him, he is so in deep thoughts. " Iyan said and they laughed eating the slice of pizza.

" Maybe she is pregnant! " Zack said.

" Wow! You have powers, great to know. " Brian said munching down the pizza.

" That means it correct? " He asked with wide eyes.

" Maybe or maybe not. " Iyan said placing a slice on Ryan's mouth to keep it a secret.

" I don't see any possibility other than this. " Zack said.

" If it is so then I have a plan. " Zack smiled.

" What plan? "

*****

" What plan? " Mahira asked crossing her hands over the chest.

" Come home soon, we'll discuss it here. You just need to buy the items I sent you. I even asked Kabir to help you out. " Mahira made a face and walked to another shop making an excuse.

" Why are you here? " Amaira asked just behind her and Mahira freaked out.

" Ohh! You scared me. "

Taking a gulp she replied,

" Zack wants me to buy these things and hand it over to Kabir. " 

" Where is Kabir? "

" On his way. " Mahira sighed.

" Forward the items list to Kabir and let him buy it. If you didn't follow Dilna, she'll think that you helped Zack. "

" I have to help both of them at the same time. Urghh! Where am I stuck now? " Mahira groaned.

" In the gift shop. " Amaira whispered and Mahira glared at her.

*****

Back home after an hour, the tired ladies walked down the hall and the cute little boys ran to their mothers for the toys.

" Did you both do your homework? " Amaira asked both Mizyan and Mizaan.

" Yesh. Abba helped ush. " They replied in a cute voice and Mahira passed them the new car models.

{ Yes. Abba helped us. }

" Aww, my cute Mifrah!! " Brian said and took her in his arm and kissed her cheeks as she giggled.

" Isn't it special to have kids? " Iyan asked and everyone nodded with a wide smile. Even though Dilna and Zack didn't have one but the feeling of having them soon is also special.

*****

In the evening, Mahira entered the lawn with mugs of coffee. The ladies took each mug and sipped slowly.

" So, do you plan to tell him at 12 night or in the morning in front of us? " Mahira asked Dilna.

" At night. "

" Hmm... "

" Ahaan!! Planning some more special moments with him, ha? " Haya asked making Dilna shy.

" No... " Dilna replied and sipped coffee.

" But your cheeks reply differently. " Haya said making her blush deep red.

" It's not like that. " Dilna replied and the ladies giggled.

*****

" But how can you expect me to play two different roles at the same time? " Mahira asked Zack and Brian.

" What? Can't, you help your so-called brother now? " Zack asked.

" Who said at the same time? We want your help just for tonight. " Brian said.

" Okay fine. Tell me about your plans. " Mahira said and sat on the couch.

" See, it's that, remember we have 4 rooms in the house? " Zack asked.

Mahira glared at him.

" Come to the point bro. " Brian whispered looking at angry Mahira.

" I want your room key. " Zack said.

" But why? " She asked.

Zack looked at Brian and Brian sighed.

" I was trying to explain the reason but you bro-sis want to hear the conclusion. " 

" Fine speak up. "

" We took the rooms downstairs before. " Zack started pointing himself and Brian.

" So, after my marriage, I wanted a bigger room, so I shifted to the upper room, not yours as you have the key. Now, my old room belongs to Mifrah and future kids... if they arrive... " Zack looked at Brian who had a straight face.

" So you want my room for your kid? " Mahira asked.

" Yes. I want to surprise Dilna with a room decorated for the kid. " 

" Hmm, nice plan. So, that's why you needed paints and those items... "

" Yep. " Zack smiled widely and Mahira handed over the keys.

" Not just keys... " He said as Mahira stood up.

" What more? " She asked.

" Your help... "

" Wasn't this enough? "

" No. I mean you know better what kind of decorated room looks simple and beautiful at the same time. If we do so, we'll overdecorate it. "

" Take help from Haya. " Mahira suggested.

" She is the close friend of Dilna. " Brian replied.

" So what? "

" She's in bed rest. " Brian replied and Mahira smiled.

" Fine. "

*****

Dilna laid down on the bed waiting for Zack who is busy in some work as so he replied.

She was waiting for hours to go by soon to 12'o clock at night but go slow when she'll wish him.

As the clock showed 11:40, Zack entered the room and saw Dilna sleeping.

He smiled and pecked on her forehead and headed himself for a quick bath as his clothes were full of dust and paint patches.

Walking out, he laid down next to his love and she turned to hug him.

" Dilna! " He whispered and he kissed her forehead again.

She opened her eyes slowly and looked at his face closely.

" Yes. " She whispered.

" I love you. " He said.

" I love you too. " She replied turning her head down over his chest.

Zack smiled watching her shy and at the same time, her alarm rang with his favorite song.

She looked at him who was confused.

" Happy birthday my dear cute lovely husband. " She kissed on his cheek.

Zack, who was so busy planning a surprise for a surprise, forgot about his own birthday.

" Thank you, my love. " He replied and pecked her lips.

" You need to learn to kiss on my lips now instead of cheeks. " He said after a few minutes of warm hugs.

Dilna slapped his arm and replied,

" You know I'm shy. "

" Even if we have done this before? " He asked and she blushed deeply remembering that romantic and blissful night.

" Zackary! " She hugged him with her face on his chest.

" So, where is my gift? " He asked.

" Do I really need to give you one? Am I not enough? " She asked looking at his eyes with a dare.

" Who are you? I know my Dilna is cute and shy. She's not like you. Which soul is controlling her, ha? " He asked.

" You got it right. You Dilna is under my control. " She said in a strong voice.

" What has happened to you Dilna? You have a quick mood swings now. " He said and she just walked to the cupboard.

" Dilna, are you okay? You are scaring me now. " He said sitting on the bed.

" Do I? " She asked sitting on the bed and he nodded slowly.

She smiled and pecked his lips.

" Now... {gulps} now, I am sure, it's now you. "

" Surely it's not me, soon to be Daddy. " She said passing the gift.

He opened the box and saw the T-shirt saying 'Soon to be Daddy'.

Zack looked at the T-shirt and few tears left his eyes.

" Oye, why are you crying? " She asked and she hugged him.

" Because of its the start for my own family with you. " He said and kissed her forehead.

" Having a baby is a special gift you gave me. " He said and kissed her lips.

" Umm... " She pushed him a little and she was pushed n lay on the bed.

" Zack, you need to be more careful now. " She said and he smiled.

Kissing her belly, he hugged her, smiling.

*****

8 months later...

" Happy birthday to you... " The family sang the song for the adult yet little princess of the Mafia brothers.

" Happy birthday to you Haya... " Blowing the candles, she cut down the cake, making each ad everyone have a small bite.

" Dilna, for you this big piece. " Haya took the piece and make her eat it.

" Why only for her? " Brian asked.

" Half for her, half for my soon to be niece/nephew. Don't be jealous. " Haya replied and turned to see Zack walking towards her when they heard a scream.

Haya looked at Dilna who screamed.

" My water broke. " 

For precaution, Zack asked for an ambulance to be there with them as the 8th month started.

 Amaira and Zack took her to the ambulance through an ambulance. Brian, Haya, Iyan were asked to stay with the kids as Ryan and Mahira followed them in a car.

After a few happy yet painful moments, Dilna delivered the baby.

Amaira walked out of the room and announced,

" Congratulations!! It's a baby girl. " 

Zack smiled widely though he had tears and Ryan hugged him.

Amaira and Mahira entered the room and looked at the baby and soon Zack was called in.

" Come... " Mahira said and passed the cute little princess to him.

" Mifraz! " He said as Dilna opened her eyes and smiled.

" Mifraz. " She said and Ryan entered with his mobile attached to a selfie stick.

" Here, we have Mifraz. " Ryan said placing the camera near her.

" She's so cute. " Haya said.

" Mifraz, cute name. " Iyan said.

" She's really cute. Zack, how are you feeling now? " Brian asked.

" A special inexpressible feeling. " Zack replied and kissed Mifraz's forehead.

" My cute little baby princess. " He said and everyone smiled looking at Zack.

" See, I told you, it's going to be a race... " Ryan said and Iyan shut him up by saying,

" Let it be to them and their destiny. "

And the baby started crying again.

" See you made her cry. " Ryan said and everyone tried their best to make her stop crying.

" It's not my fault, it's yours. " Iyan replied.

"It's yours, after all, she didn't agree with you. " 

The fight between Iyan and Ryan made Mifraz look here and there. Maybe she as curious on who is taking more attention than her. Thinking of this, everyone laughed at the fight but giggled at her cuteness.

THE END!
